## BACKGROUND. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) have been implicated in the etiology of anogenital squamous epithelial tumors. Of the 65 HPV strains, subtypes HPV-16 and HPV-18 frequently are associated with malignant conditions and are capable of transforming keratinocytes in vitro. However, addition
The malignant dissemination of tumors has been shown to require expression of one or more members of the matrix metalloprotease (MMP) enzyme family, whose function is to catalyze degradation of extracellular matrix proteins. In human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin, expression of the MMP 9
Germline mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease tumor suppressor gene (TSG) convey a high risk of clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma (CC-RCC) and most sporadic CC-RCCs demonstrate somatic inactivation of the VHL TSG. However, the existence of further CC-RCC gatekeeper genes is implied by CC-R
